        Decent overview of islands.
        This was a spontaneous trip booked towards the end of our stay, and was reasonably priced. There was a lot of waiting around for the long tail and our boat was at max capacity of 20 and a bit of a squeeze. One very large family group dominated a bit. Our guide was friendly, food & water good, islands beautiful but all stops just felt rushed and crowded. Overall a decent trip for price paid, but maybe spend more if you'd like longer stops and more comfort.

        Reccomended, enjoy a private trip
        Everything was very well organized. We enjoyed the private travel by boat, even if the weather conditions were not optimal and some of the spots overcrowded.

        Hong Island by private longtail boat
        Had a wonderful day exploring Hong Island. 4 stops with the last being epic with an absolutely gorgeous beach! Nice to have a private long tail boat but they are quite noisy so difficult to talk. Nok is very nice and the boat was handled well. Thank goodness for Google Translate as their English is very limited though.

        4 island sunset tour
        The tour was amazing, seen very beautiful and scenic views. We had 3 snorkeling spots during our tour. The guides were super helpful throughout the tour. The food at the beach during sunset was scrumptious. Got to swim with the Bioluminescence planktons. Over all had an amazing day.

        Wonderful tour with a small group
        The Tour was really fun and with nice views. We were only 7 people in the group and the guide was great. đź‘Ť We had some rain in the beginning, but the sunset was perfect. The food is also really good. There is a Buffett and so much to eat.

        Beautiful snorkeling, food and glowing plankton
        Had a small group of 8, plenty of room on the boat and easy pick up and drop off. A lovely bbq. We had Lip as our tour guide and his English was amazing, he was funny and really helpful, took photos for everyone. Make sure you swim with the glowing plankton at the end, my favourite experience in Thailand so far.

        Great day with Lip
        First of all, the tour was great and we had a great trip with our guide Lip. Lip was very authentic, sought out conversation with the tourists, was very friendly and all this without being pushy, artificial or annoying. He also took photos of us and showed us special fish. Nevertheless, you should be aware of a few things: - You are not on 7 islands. We visited 3 islands, one of which was Railay Beach, which isn't really an island strictly speaking. - We only had one snorkeling stop (probably because we couldn't fit in a second one). - The BBQ is a buffet of ready-made dishes and skewers, but not really a BBQ. BUT there are even vegan options and it was all very yummy. We had dinner right at sunset and it was perfect. Overall it was a good trip but be aware of the things mentioned so as not to be disappointed.

      My wife and I have travelled extensively and had many tours and guides, todays trip was excellent. Good whether is a must as the experience is heavily influenced by the calmness of the sea and tides. Our guide Helima took went the extra mile in chosing the perfect day and conditions for the trip (she suggested we wait a day or two following rain) . Her team are very professional, from the transfer driver who knew shortcuts and busy roads, through to the boat owner who was a professional fisherman and knew the tides and seas so was able to suggest the perfect order of the trip to ensure the best conditions at each location. Highly recommended and enjoyable experience. For the extra ÂŁ20 we paid it is definitely worth booking a private tour to allow personalisation and tweaks that suit you and mean no waiting for others.

      Great day on the water. RLT was proactive at communicating and recommended we leave before 7am to stay ahead of the crowds, which worked out perfectly. Our boat captain knew exactly where to go at the right times to ensure we had as private of an experience as possible. We frequently were the only people on the beach or in the water at each location. We ended up making about 6 stops, including two great snorkeling spots. The van driver who picked us up in the morning was willing to take us to 7/11 to get our own snacks, although if you want any alcoholic drinks, buy them the day before due to local restrictions on alcohol sales before 11am. As advertised, boat captain did not speak english, but was we were able to communicate well enough to take our preferences on how long to stay places.

      Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review! 🌟 We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great day on the water and appreciated our early start recommendation — it’s the best way to beat the crowds and enjoy the islands at their most peaceful. We’re glad our boat captain knew exactly where to take you for the most private experience possible and that you got to explore some incredible snorkeling spots. We also appreciate your understanding about the language barrier; while our captain doesn’t speak English, it’s wonderful to hear that you were still able to communicate and tailor the trip to your preferences. If you’d like a guide who speaks English for future tours, we can certainly arrange that as an optional add-on. Thank you as well for sharing the helpful tip about picking up snacks and drinks in advance! We’re so happy you had a memorable experience and hope to welcome you back for more adventures in.

      A successful longtail boat trip. The boat is a bit noisy, but the trip to the islands is fun. Not always the conditions fit for snorkeling (waves), but overall we had a lot of fun. Our boatmaster was a very friendly young man who responded to all our wishes. Little tip: If you’re staying near AoNang, you’d rather spend more time on the first 3 islands and “give” yourself Riley, because you can get there cheaper by water taxi.

      We had booked the private longtail boat trip because we thought we could escape the crowds a bit or, if necessary, head for other islands nearby.
      Our boatmaster unfortunately could not speak English, which we found a great shame because we did not receive any information about the places.
      The islands were very nice. The snorkeling wasn't very special. We joined other boats to explore the underwater world. Due to the noise, not many fish can be seen. I would have liked to place us a little offside.
      When I had internet for a short time, I asked through the Google translator if we could go to another island at sunset where there were not so many people. The boatmaster nodded, but led us to the island with many other tourists according to the program.
      Since the boat is very noisy, conversation is not possible. We could have saved ourselves the extra costs and booked a trip with other tourists.

      This was a delightful trip! We left early and got to a couple of the islands before the crowds. I’d skip Phra Nang and go to Koh Poda (you can choose) — phra Nang is beautiful but wayyyyy over-crowded (and with like, the worst kinds of tourists), plus you really can get there from the mainland anyways. Bring some snacks and/or a lunch and then ask your guide to take you to some beaches where it isn’t crowded! They will make you some watermelon and pineapple, but it helps to bring your own snacks so you can picnic on the beaches. I loved that we had our own private boat! It was a delightful trip and well worth it. The hotel pick up was easy, the trip was easy, all was great.

      This tour was absolutely amazing! Everyone was so unbelievably kind. We had some major issues, due to last minute hotel accomodations and nothing to do with the tour, that required us to miss our original date/time. The driver not only offered to wait and help find us a hotel (out booking was canceled and we had to to find a last minute emergency hotel) but they also allowed us to reschedule the trip later in the week. The driver, the boat captain, and the scenery was absolutely gorgeous. Thailand has been so good to is and the people have been wonderful. You could not find a more kind group to offer some of the most beautiful experiences available. Loved every minute of the tour. From the monkeys to the breath-taking views.

      This was a great excursion. The company was very accommodating, they picked up our friends from a separate pier. The islands were beautiful and it was a very laid back day. We stayed at each island for however long we wanted and because we went in the early morning most of the islands were very quiet. They served us fresh pineapple and supplied us bottled waters.

      The only thing I would say is that they charged us an extra 400 Baht each (1600 Baht) when we got to the first island. We thought this was half our payment but at the end of the trip they asked for the full amount (3000 Baht). They said the extra 1600 Baht was a charge for the islands. We felt a bit taken advantage of because we were totally unaware of this extra charge. The trip is advertised as 3000 baht not 4600 baht.

      All in all the day was incredible so we weren’t that upset, but we definitely got blind sided.

      Hi, Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are happy you enjoyed your time with us. We are really sorry that it wasn't made clear that prices are exclusive of National Park fee (400 baht per person). This should have been stated clearly on your email and was an oversight on our behalf. We will strive to make sure we do not make this mistake again with future customers but we hope you enjoyed the beautiful surroundings of Ao Nang.

      We discovered this Private 4 Island Tour, with Railay Local Travel, via a Trip Advisor search. Unfortunately the Trip Advisor website did not appear to provide answers to all of our questions, so we contacted Railay Travel directly and Sian was extremely helpful. She accepted our booking and agreed to us being picked up at our own hotels jetty (Centara Grand Beach Resort and Spa). Our long boat "captain" and guide were both excellent, taking us to each of the four islands as well as allowing us to experience some good snorkelling locations. Overall a lovely tour, which represented good value for money.

      We did the 4 islands tour with a private longtail boat.
      In a word. Breathtaking.
      So beautiful.
      The skipper took good care of us drinking fresh fruit.
      Picked out nice snorkeling spots.
      We were allowed to indicate ourselves how long We wanted to stay where. Super ordinary.
